With summer and its longer days finally here, taking a break now and then feels just right. Between holidays and calm afternoons, having a good game on our iPhone or iPad is more than just a good idea. Whether at home, by the pool, on a trip or at the beach, there’s always time for a good game.
Fun for all ages, anytime
Let’s talk about a selection for both younger players and those looking for something deeper, more entertaining or challenging. Let’s talk about 7 great games we can already download from the App Store completely free of charge.
Clash of Clans
Clash of Clans is a classic that continues to impress. In this strategy and building game, we create our village, train troops and join forces with other players to form clans. With its ideal mix of fast action and strategic decisions, it’s a perfect game for older players, although younger ones can enjoy it too if we play together.
Township
Township offers a surprisingly balanced combination of city-building and farming simulation. We start with a small town and gradually turn it into a full city, with crops, buildings and factories. The sense of progress is very satisfying and the game’s aesthetic is especially friendly and visually appealing.
Royal Match
Royal Match is a puzzle game with familiar mechanics, but it manages to stand out thanks to its design and pacing. Each level invites us to unlock and decorate King Robert’s castle while matching colourful pieces. The setting and visual effects make it hard to stop once we’ve started.
Gossip Harbor
Gossip Harbor is part graphic novel, part merge game. We step into the shoes of Quinn Castillo, whose life is turned upside down on an island full of secrets. As we merge ingredients and items to move forward, we uncover a story full of truly interesting twists.
Educational and creative games for the little ones
When there are kids around, having games that are fun, calm and educational is almost essential. Here are three titles designed especially for them.
Bluey
Bluey is inspired by the famous Australian series, and invites us to explore, imagine and play within the world of Bluey and her family. There are no scores or challenges, just calm activities that encourage creativity.
Toca Boca World
Toca Boca World is one of the most complete and open apps in the children’s catalogue. It lets us create characters, design worlds, invent stories and play without any kind of limits. There are no fixed rules or predetermined paths, just a space where each child can experiment at their own pace. A free play tool with enormous educational value.
LEGO DUPLO Disney
LEGO DUPLO Disney is a space designed for children aged 2 to 5 that combines the LEGO DUPLO universe with characters like Mickey Mouse. The activities are designed to develop motor skills, logic and creativity, always in a safe and familiar environment guided by Disney.
All these games are available for free on the App Store and ready to install on any iOS device so we can take them with us wherever we go. Whether to enjoy a game with the little ones, to unwind after a long day, or to relax on a terrace at sunset, these titles are truly worth exploring.
